Was on a different thread this afternoon.
well gee, you think it might have to do with different people being on at different times? Or perhaps those that commented on it before just didn't see this thread?
But yes, I am sure you would rather believe that it was because of who posted this and not because of the above reasons.
Bottom line, while tragic that these women were murdered, the same questions still remain unanswered from the previous thread.
1) How many women were brutally murdered in this fashion each year prior to the war?
No one will answer this because they can't. They just continue to give vague "it was better under Saddam" type responses. Or act as though there weren't murders in Iraq under Saddam. They would prefer to pretend that this happened because of the war.
2) WHY don't we have statistics from Iraq in terms of violent crimes in the years of the sancitons? yet we do now?
Could it be that it is because the Iraqi press is FREE to report on the violent crimes now?
3) To put in perspective, again... NOT saying these murders are acceptable in any way.... just putting in perspective.... There would need to be over 100,000 violent crime victims in Iraq each year to be as violent as the U.S.
Yet, we continue to act as though this violence is simply because of the war. The pretenders like to think that Iraqis were flying kites and sipping tea because Michael Moore said so.
